In June 2024, our company received an inquiry from a customer in the Philippines. The customer simply told us that he needed a cantilever crane. Through repeated communication between our business personnel and the customer, we learned about the materials and working frequency that the customer needed to lift. Because of the above situation, the customer finally chose a pillar jib crane. Our technical personnel designed the product drawings according to the customer’s existing needs. Finally, the two parties reached an agreement, signed a contract, and put it into production.
Cantilever crane is a common lifting equipment, mainly composed of the following main parts:
Cantilever beam (arm): responsible for lifting heavy objects, cantilever structure that can rotate up and down, and telescope forward and backwards.
Main frame: the main structure that supports the cantilever beam and can rotate left and right.
Wire rope and pulley: used for lifting and moving heavy objects.
Mechanical arm: controls the movement of the cantilever boom frame.
Jib cranes have the characteristics of a simple structure, small footprint, strong flexibility, and the ability to flexibly lift and shift heavy objects. They are widely used in various factories, warehouses, and port loading and unloading occasions. They are important equipment that is indispensable for modern industrial production. Relevant safety operating procedures must be followed when using them to ensure safe operation.
Main Features of Pillar Jib Crane
Support structure: It is composed of a single or multiple columns, providing a stable support structure. This structure is suitable for occasions where lifting operations need to be completed in a fixed position.
Rotating mechanism: The cantilever beam can rotate around the vertical axis of the column to provide a larger working radius.
Lifting mechanism: The cantilever beam can be raised and lowered to achieve lifting at different heights.
Good stability: Compared with bridge cranes, column structures can provide better stability and anti-overturning ability.
Applicable occasions: Commonly used in factory workshops, storage and logistics centres, port terminals and other occasions where centralized lifting is required.
Flexible layout: Single-column type can be arranged nearby, and multi-column type can be flexibly arranged according to site needs.
When using a pillar jib crane, it is necessary to reasonably select the column height, arm length, and lifting weight, and do a good job of basic design and safety protection measures to ensure the safe use of the equipment.
Applications of Pillar Jib Crane
Factory manufacturing: suitable for material handling and equipment loading and unloading in factory workshops such as mechanical processing, metal products, and automobile manufacturing. The position and working range of the cantilever crane can be flexibly set according to the layout of the production line.
Warehousing and logistics industry: suitable for cargo loading and unloading and handling operations in warehouses, distribution centres and other places. It is convenient for centralized management and improves work efficiency.
Port and terminal industry: used for loading and unloading of bulk cargo, containers and other items in seaports and inland ports. It can be installed on the dock or boarding bridge to improve loading and unloading efficiency.
Construction field: Suitable for material lifting and equipment installation at various construction sites. Provide flexible and reliable support and lifting capabilities in limited space.
Mining: Used for ore loading and unloading, equipment maintenance and other operations at open-pit mining sites in mines. Meet the lifting needs of large tonnage and large spans.
Electric power, petrochemical and other industries: Suitable for equipment installation and maintenance of process units such as power plants and refineries. It can meet the needs of high-altitude operations and large-scale lifting.
In general, pillar jib cranes are widely used in many industrial fields due to their flexible, stable and efficient operating capabilities. They are widely used general lifting equipment.
